How do I dialate a figure by 1/2 on a graph?

Say the points of a figure are (3,6) (3,12) and (5,12).

Multiply each coordinate by 1/2. Your first point for example would come out (1.5, 3)

you measure intervals on the x and y axes twice as large

so the points would be

(3/2,6/2) (3/2,12/2) and (5/2,12/2)

that is

(3/2,3) (3/2,6) and (5/2,6)

.
